Who's got a potty mind, then!!
It's more often called the May bug - or June bug :-D

But it's a cockchafer, which is probably what it suffers from in July :-D

I realise that, Maggie, journalistic licence and all that, but that beetle's name should really be changed. :-D :-D :-D

Well, Allan, the 'giant' spiders that are (apparently) invading our homes are 'sex crazed' too.
It's their breeding season.
The species would die out if they didn't procreate, but according to reports, this means they're 'sex crazed' :-(

If you don't mess with them they won't harm you.

They like gravestones though... ;-) :-D

,,,and Hampshire, and, to be honest almost every County.
It happens the same time every year.

Come May/June, we're likely to be 'invaded' by
sex craved 'giant flying beetles' AKA Cockchafers.
That happens every year too.

Are people (in particular local reporters) so unaware of
their surroundings that any insect/arachnid bigger than
a ladybird or money spider is a 'giant'?

Edited the text, as URL is too long
Didn't you suggest 'tiny URL's'to others on more than
one occasion, Rollo?
